Arty Hill, "Omaha ICU"
Arty Hill, "Omaha ICU"
Anyway, a few weeks back Hill emailed his first-blush lyrics to the song. After reading them, LOM asked if he would mind if we forwarded them to Woodruff, whom I figured would be at best intrigued, at worst mildly amused. Woodruff was entirely enthusiastic, and he began an email conversation with Hill that resulted in a couple of rewrites.
Anyway, long story short, this past Monday during his lunch hour, Hill went to a friend's studio and demo'ed "Omaha ICU." If you pay close attention, you can even hear Hill work in a reference to "Kingsford" charcoal. LOM can't wait for the royalties to start rolling in, even though as a highly paid Houston Press blogger he really doesn't need any more income.
